英伦style：12句地道英式表达

1. Au fait – this is an example of a French expression that has become part of the English Language. It means to have good detailed knowledge of something. (This is not slang but a very British English expression.)

Au fait是英语从法语中借用的表达之一。它的意思是对某事物有非常细致的了解。（它不是俚语却是非常地道的英式表达）

2. Blinding – if something is blinding, it means that it’s excellent.

如果某事物是亮瞎眼的，意思就是这个事物非常棒、非常出色。

3. Bugger all – if you’ve got bugger all for dinner, it means you have nothing. (This is an impolite expression so use it with caution)

如果你说晚餐吃个屁，那就是说你什么也没有吃。（这种表达十分不礼貌，需慎用）

4. Cock up – This can be used as a verb or a noun and it means to make a serious mistake or a mistake. (It has nothing to do with male parts!)

这个短语既可用作动词也可用作名词，它的意思是犯了很严重的错误(动词)或错误（名词）。（这个表达跟男性器官毫无关系。）

5. Donkeys’ years – a long time or ages

很久很久，好多年

6. Gobsmacked - “Gob” is mouth in British English and if you smack it, you probably would do it because you are amazed or shocked.

Gob在英式英语里是嘴巴的意思，如果你咂嘴，可能是因为你感到惊讶或震惊。

7. Gormless – another way to say vacant or clueless.

表示茫然或无知愚蠢的另一种方式。

8. Gutted – really upset.

非常失望的

9. Hunky-dory – fine, going well

很好，进展顺利

10. Knackered – very tired, exhausted

非常累，精疲力竭

11. Lurgy – if you’ve got the lurgy, it means you are ill with the flu or other mild disease.

如果你身体小恙，也就是得了流感或其他小病。

例句：

12. Nice one! – If someone is impressed by what you’ve done, they could use this expression. It’s similar to “good job” in American English. It can also be used sarcastically.

如果一个人对你所做的事情印象深刻，就可以使用这个表达。它跟美式英语里的good job差不多，也可以用于带有讽刺意味的夸奖。
